Freshford Romanesque Doorway

[Text Source Megalithic Ireland ](http://www.megalithicireland.com/Freshford%20Romanesque%20Doorway,%20Kilkenny.html) Built of sandstone the three ordered doorway has inclined jambs with a barrel-vaulted porch. Sadly most of the romanesque decoration is now very weathered. But still there are some wonderful features to look out for. There is a human head on the keystone, a common feature on several Irish romanesque doorways, [see Killeshin](https://skfb.ly/ooNKD). The arch has two rows of chevron and a plain soffit with an inscription across the face. It reads: Or do Gilla-Mocholmoc u Ce[nn]cucain do rigne. Or do Neim ingin Cuirc acus do Mathgamain u Chiarmeic lasndernad in tempul-sa. (A prayer for Niam daughter of Corc and for Mathgamain o Chiarmeic for whom this church was built).

Or do Neim ingin Cuirc acus do Mathgamain u Chiarmeic lasndernad in tempul-sa.（译文：为吉尔拉-莫霍尔莫克·乌·肯库坎祈福，为科尔克之女尼安与基亚尔迈克之子马思盖门祈福——此教堂正是为后者所建）。 数据集来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
